Since salicylic acid (SA) was discovered as an elicitor of tobacco plants inducing the resistance against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in 1979, increasing reports suggest that SA indeed is a key plant hormone regulating plant immunity. In addition, recent studies indicate that SA can regulate many different responses, such as tolerance to abiotic stress, plant growth and development, and soil microbiome. In this review, we focused on the recent findings on SA's effects on resistance to biotic stresses in different plant-pathogen systems, tolerance to different abiotic stresses in different plants, plant growth and development, and soil microbiome. This allows us to discuss about the safe and practical use of SA as a plant defense activator and growth regulator. Crosstalk of SA with different plant hormones, such as abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonic acid, and auxin in different stress and developmental conditions were also discussed.

Plant growth regulator is an essential pesticide to date while the available active ingredient is not well understood unlike fungicide, insecticide and herbicide. This study was aimed to evaluate a new chemical class of plant growth regulator, and the total of 92 benzene derivatives were screened for their germination and early stage of the root growth regulation on Brassica campestris. Thirty benzaldehydes, nine acids, one amide, and one ester showed potent root growth inhibitory activity (>70 % inhibition) while only salicylaldehyde showed potent germination inhibition ($IC_{50}=81.2mg/L$) suggesting that benzaldehyde was a key module candidate for the growth inhibition. Benzaldehydes were further evaluated for root growth inhibition. 2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde showed $IC_{50}$ values of 8.0 and 83.9 mg/L, respectively. On the other hand, salicylaldehyde, and 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde were found to have root growth promotion effects less than 10 mg/L. This result suggests that the benzaldehyde is a new class candidate for plant growth regulator.

Effects of the plant growth regulator (P. G. R.)on the reaction of proteinase, $\gamma-amylase$ and acid phosphatase were investigated, and also were the conditions of production of P. G. R. by Stroptomyces sp. 445. The P. G. R. had no effect on the act ivities of such enzymes in mung bean seedling. But in germinating seed previously treated with P. G. R. it effected the activity of protease in cotyledon. In the conditions of production of P. G. R., the maxim, activity was appeared in shaking cutlure at $30^{\circ}C$ for 5 days, and by the addition of peptone or casein hydrolysate as nitrogen source, soluble starch as carbon source, and sulfur as metal ion.

This study was conducted to stable direct sowing cultivation with seedling growth promotion by plant growth regulator treatment in onion seed(Allium cepa L.) The emergence percentage of soaked seed in BA, GA$_3$, and kinetin solution were higher than control seed, and those were 93.0, 94.3, 93.8%, respectively. The plant height was significant elongation in growth regulators treated seed, and those effects were high GA$_3$, kinetin and BA in the order, and the extend were high as increasing the growth regulator solution concentration in GA$_3$ and BA, and that was reverse in kinetin. The No. of leaf was increased in growth regulators treated seed, and the extend were similar among the growth regulators. The No. of root was increased significantly in growth regulators treated seed, and the extend were high in GA$_3$, BA and kinetin in the order.

This study had been conducted to investigate the effect of some plant growth regulators inducing fruit enlargement and optimal harvest time in Sageretia thea. Two hundred fifty $mg/{\ell}$ mepiquat chloride treatment, $1mg/{\ell}$ thidiazuron treatment on full bloom, and $200mg/{\ell}$ gibberellic acid treatment on 7 days before full bloom resulted in the increase of 21.7% in weight, and $200mg/{\ell}$ gibberellic acid treatment 7 days before full bloom, 10$mg/{\ell}$ forchlorfenuron treatment 14 days after full bloom, and $1mg/{\ell}$ thidiazuron treatment on full bloom also brought about positive effects on the enlargement of the fruit, increasing 6.3%, 6.3% and 8.1% in its transverse diameter, respectively. Furthermore, the effects of the plant growth regulator treatments on the harvest time of Sageretia thea were determined as follows: the increase in the optimal harvest time of 57.2 - 75.4%, shorter maturation period, by the treatments with $500mg/{\ell}$ mepiquat chloride 7 days after full bloom, $100mg/{\ell}$ gibberellic acid treatment on full bloom, $2.5mg/{\ell}$ forchlorofenuron 7 days after full bloom and $2mg/{\ell}$ thidiazuron treatment 7 days before full bloom; and the greater effects of plant growth regulator treatments on the fruit maturation in the following order, gibberellic acid > thidiazuron > forchlorofenuron > mepiquat chloride. The results of this study are expected to be used as a reference data to develop Sageretia thea as a new local specific crop for Jeju island.

The paper evaluated the behavior of in vitro culture responses from a diverse set of Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes. Significant differences were found in embryogenic callus induction frequency, callus growth and plant regeneration frequency when mature embryos of 11 cultivars, breeding lines and land races were compared. Genotype as well as plant growth regulator influenced the plant regeneration frequency. Callus induction frequency was not correlated with callus growth as well as plant regeneration frequency. The regenerated plants could grow to normal, fertile plants after they were successfully established in soil.

The walnut (Juglans regia L.), a member of the Juglandaceae, is native to the mountain ranges of central Asia. This species of walnut is valued commercially for its nuts and in some areas for its timber. The seeds of walnut are recalcitrant and it has strong integument dormancy and their germination is irregular, making its natural propagation difficult. Low percentage of seed germination and long propagation cycle are the main problems of propagation. This study was conducted medium composition on in vitro plantlet regeneration from axillary buds of walnut. It has proved to be the most generally applicable and reliable method of in vitro propagation. Micropropagation culture that axillary buds are excised aseptically enables faster multiplication of plants. The axillary buds of walnut new cultivar "Sinlyeong" were cultured on two basal media which contained the different plant growth regulators depending on the respective shooting and rooting stage. After 12 weeks, the shoot generation rate was 85.3%, the shoot number and its length were 1.9/explant and 2.7 cm in the most favorable medium composition. The percentage of rooting was 25.4%. From these results, it was found the optimum basal medium and plant growth regulator for in vitro plant regeneration from axillary buds of walnut new cultivar "Sinlyeong". However, we have continued to search the other medium additives to enhance the rate of walnut root.

The study was conducted to determine the Ms orthogonaL modia and the concentration of plant growth regulator for seed matura-tion and growth of rhizome from Cymbidium goeringii Germination waswell in dark condition, but the growth of rhizome was better un-der dark than under light condition in MS orthoTonal . Sucrose con-centration( 3 %) gave better results than higher ones(6%), andthe use of NAA(0.1 PPm) effect significant difference of seed ge-rmination .But the growth of rhizome was best in medium Containingsucrose concentration(3%) Ippm NAA and 1 PPm BA.
